MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Hassel-this is a dealer demo, not a new piece so no need for break in. I hear different responses for different types of music....I feel overall this would be a compromise for my tastes. There is no doubt to me though, that there is just an emptin... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Audphile1, thats exactly what I feel like I am doing....Making myself like this thing, it's obviously not for me. They do have Levinson, and I may snag a 432 just so I can listen to on my system. I had a 36 DAC from ML a while back and I loved the... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Screw this thing....I don't want to be pigeon-holed in one type of music. I am listening to Diana Krall right now and she sounds great, but then I move to something else and I get aggravated. Fatigues me quickly. Krell kills this thing, even at th... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
There is something a little harsh in the mid range with this amp, in my system....It's a little annoying actually. I am trying soooo much different music and finding whether I like it or not is dependant on the recordning, and the type of music. T... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Dbld- I have heard this too. I think the reason people might say this is because the Mac is truly a 'balanced' connection. Meaning very simply, each pin breaks off into it's own path, they are not combined inside. So....If you have a preamp that i... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Thanks guys...Actually my current Krell is a Class A/B circuit..They don't give you Class A until you get into their Full Power Balanced line-up. And yes, Class A is part of what makes these amps very inefficient and A/B more efficient. I think I ... 
Scott Nixon USBTD vs Wavelength Brick
Good point you make Morris....I don't know I can give the level of detail you want on the sounds, since I didn't own both pieces to A/B them, just Wavelength stuff. But to me I just didn't hear the same amount of detail in the SN. But like you sai... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Soooo true Brian, well said. I find auditioning equipment is well worth the effort, for more reasons than just finding out if the piece you are auditioning is for you. You learn about sonic differences for one thing, and what they are, so then you... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
I am in MA, and there are one or (worthy) dealers up here. I have checked with just about everyone on MA, CT and no one has anything. There a couple of FPB 400cx on AG, but wouldn't be able to listen. Dealers also don't probably have any in stock ... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Also, one other point to be made between these two amps...The MAC is a Class a/b circuit and the Krell FPB is a Class A. So quite honestly, the comparison may not be completely fair in that respect. 
ASIO4ALL Crackles With Wavelength Audio Brick
Funny....Don is where I got my stuff from too, he is a great guy. Best service around. Haven't tried the clicker, heard about it. In my application I don't have a use for it. So how long have you had your Cosecant? Must love it huh? 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
I am still very much interested in hearing an FPB series Krell. Just not many around is the problem. 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
Mac better in every way in my system over the Krell so far. I am picking up more detail in my music, much more. Very nice sound stage, a little wider, and deeper, but much quieter, or darker if you will. Bass is taut (sp?) and punchy, appropriatel... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
First impressions...Not much time to post, sorry..Will catch up later. Surprising Bass, exactly what I like. Much better than my current krell amp actually. Mids are smooth and velvety.Highs are detailed and airy. I like this amp so far. More to c... 
MC402 vs FPB 300cx
I have an MC402 in my trunk to listen to at home, so I will let you know what I think. My local dealer is very close to my work, so I figured what the heck. Now I can really have a basis to compare and judge the MAC sound vs. the Krell KAV sound.
